Title supplied by cataloger.
Layout: Ruled sporadically in drypoint and lead, several quires at the end are made up of parchment ruled for another purpose; fol.75-82: double columns, oriented perpendicular to text; fol. 114-113: originally ruled for two columns of text with more and narrower lines than the existing text. Pricking in outer margins, mostly trimmed. Collation is highly erratic and difficult to determine...
Written in Italy in the first half of the 14th century. Possibly Augustinian canon origin: Saint Augustine is singled out among the Bishops and Confessors as "Pater Augustine."
Belonged in the 18th century to Jehan de Montagu; an inscription, f. 54r: "le Seigneur de Montagu a joute [...] 20 Septembre 1781," and on f. 96r: "Jehan de Montaagu, Sieur de os..." Numerous other marginal inscripts throughout, probably in the same hand. Obtained by Jean Roos from Otto F. Ege of Cleveland, Ohio at an unknown date.
